RIP laptop
« on: 15 February 2008, 19:31:29 »
My laptop has died and gone to silicone heaven, I'm reduced to a mobile and web'n'walk. Rubbish. :(

My poor Tosg died before Christmas, hence this shiny new HP.  The Tosh seems to be working again now (not that there is a shortage of laptops in the TheBoy household - I can see 5 in my lounge :o)

Make that 6. Just found another. Looks like 1G PIII Dell Latitude WITH a serial port.  Now that could be useful....

Anyone got a laptop HDD, doesn't have to be big - 5G will hold XP and TIS

Being very capricous about keyboards, programming on a laptop is PITA for me unless it has a big keyboard  for my big hands.. ;D (carrying

an external with me is no option)

last year I take one Tosh from job as they were new and shiny (free)

but stay in the bedroom for 6 months

and after I give back ..

so I have no laptop ..  ;D
